Chapter Twenty-Eight: Backdoor and Cheating

"You may be seated, Jack. Rufus Scrimgeour conjured a chair with armrests from the air and motioned for Silver to sit down.

"Thank you, Headmaster. Silver sat down unceremoniously, "Did you have anything to do with me?"

"I just wanted to ask you something, you knowβ€”" Scrimgeour spread his hands, "I'm an Auror, and it's my job to let me fight dark wizards, but if I am the headmaster, I'm afraid it would be very inappropriate." ”

"But you've done a great job, Hogwarts is very safe, and both students and parents are very happy with your work during this time. ”

"But I'm not satisfied, Jack. Scrimgeour stood up, "I'm not fit to be here. ”

He looked at the wall and pretended to doze off, but in fact secretly looked at the portraits of their former Hogwarts headmasters, "I want to go back to the Ministry of Magic, every minute here is a torment for me, Hogwarts is like a prison to me." ”

"I'm afraid that's not something I can control, Principal Scrimgeur. Silver laughed, "You've been one of the top officials in the Ministry of Magic beforeβ€”you know very well that this isn't something I can do as a student." ”

"No, you can do it. Scrimgeour stared at Silver, "You have a good relationship with Minister Dumbledore, maybe you can help me." ”

"I can't guarantee that," Silver shook his head, "Minister Dumbledore isn't the kind of person who abandons public affairs for personal gain. ”

"It's not a matter of selfishness. Scrimgeour tapped his fingers impatiently on his desk, "I'm not good for office work, I like to be out there, hunting down dark wizards or dealing with dangerous magical creatures, I thought that being the Headmaster of Hogwarts was just a temporary position, I didn't expect it to be until now, I want to go back to the Ministry of Magic." ”

"You can contact Minister Dumbledore yourself......"

"I contacted, but he didn't agree, so that's why I'm coming to you. Dumbledore told me that he couldn't find a suitable person to replace me for the time being - this was a clear excuse, and no one was more suitable to be the Headmaster of Hogwarts than an Auror like me. ”

"Uh. Sylfor thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this is not Professor Dumbledore's excuse, Headmaster Scrimscher, there is really no more suitable headmaster than you at the moment - except Minister Dumbledore, but he can't quit the minister to become the headmaster of Hogwarts." ”

"That's why I came to you. The atmosphere in the office had changed significantly, and Scrimgeour said, "I also know very well that Dumbledore has left Hogwarts, so at a time when the mysterious man and his henchmen are threatening the wizarding world, it is best to have a hard-hearted, powerful wizard at Hogwarts, which will reassure parents, I can provide such a candidate, or you will provide it, I just want to go back to the Ministry of Magic and be an Auror to capture those black rats." ”

Silver pondered for a few seconds before replying.

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Headmaster. ”

"Of course, I know you can't answer me right away," Scrimgeour said, laughing, "but I still have time, don't worry, I won't embarrass you and Dumbledore, I'm not obsessed with the position of head of the Auror Office, I just want to go back, even if it's just a normal Auror." ”

"Okay, a qiΔ“ as you wish. Silver began, "I can't promise you the results you want, but I'll do my best." ”

"That's it. Scrimgeour said cheerfully, "Do you need any extra help lately, before I'm the Headmaster of Hogwarts?"

"I want to ......"

Today there was a Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin, and breakfast was much more lively than usual. As soon as each member of the Gryffindor team walked into the auditorium, the Slytherins cheered loudly and booed. Harry glanced at the ceiling and saw a clear, tiled blue sky: a good sign.

The Gryffindor table was red and gold, and the students cheered enthusiastically as Harry and Ron walked over. Harry smiled and waved his hand, and Ron grimaced and shook his head.

"Cheer up, Ron!" shouted Lavender, the Gryffindor prefect, "I know you're going to be great!"

Ron ignored her.

"Tea?" Harry asked Ron, "coffee, pumpkin juice?"

"Whatever. Ron said with a sad face, taking a depressed bite of the bread.

"Ron, you're fine, as long as you're not nervous. Harry admonished, "Aren't you doing a good job of training?"

"But the more people look at me, the harder my heart beats, Harry, I'm shaking all over now. Ron said. 、

"So maybe you need to order this?" Harry shook the vial containing the elixir in Ron's eyes.

"Oh my God. Ron glanced around cautiously, but not many people noticed Harry's actions.

"This is Harry who has broken the law, and the Elixir cannot be used in the game. Ron said.

"It's all right, Ron, you just need a small drop, it's just a Hogwarts game, no one else will pay attention to this level of competition except for Hogwarts students. Harry dropped a drop of elixir in the pumpkin juice, "I'll catch the Golden Snitch as soon as possible, this won't be long, this is our first fight against Slytherin this year, I don't want to lose, you know?
